The majority of us are magnesium deficient... it is amazing how many problems it can causes when our body is deficient in certain minerals...
So...the question is why are so many of us magnesium deficient?
- Our soil, today, is depleted and has lower levels of magnesium and other minerals.
- Water supplies have chemicals like fluoride and chlorine which bind to magnesium.
- Things that we consume like caffeine and sugar deplete our magnesium levels.
What kind of things can magnesium help with?
- Muscle cramps/ Aches
- Headaches
- Anxiety
- Better sleep
And did you know that topically is a great way to get magnesium into your body.
It absorbs through your skin and avoids going through the digestive track.
My personal story - During my pregnancies, I had awful restless legs and muscle cramps. (My body was telling me that it needed more magnesium as it was using more of my minerals to create that little life inside of me)
Someone suggested magnesium... so I made up this spray, and I was amazed that my muscle cramps went away! I use this spray daily. I spray it on legs, arms, and back after I shower.
Recipe :
- Equal Parts warm water and Magnesium Flakes
- 10 - 20 Drops Lavender Essential Oil
- Glass Spray Bottle
Mix everything together and poor in your glass spray bottle. It may tingle the first couple times, this is normal. (If it bothers you, you can dilute it a little more.) Let me know if you give it a try!
Here are a couple of my favorites if you prefer a supplement version of Magnesium - MegaCal & Unwind
